- This guitar is quit reassuringly heavy and has great low action. My ToneKing has a WGS G12c/s
speaker wgs4.com/12-g12...
and a shorter 70's jap reverb tray.
Guitar balances on a strap BTW.

I'm getting my Washburn falcon back after I sold it in 1985
really adore those vintage Washburn guitars
they are my favorites
has that badass style of a double cutaway Les paul mixed with SG
just love those
too bad guitars like this are so rare to find
Incredible quality and construction
Just scored one today here in Phoenix.
Bought the simpler version of this guitar about 15 years ago, used from a guitarshop for around $170. I dont think they knew what they were selling, because that guitar sounds and plays sooooo awesome!
Got one, it's freaking awesome
The 80ies Washburn Falcons are defitely great guitars. I owned the same model featured in this video back in the 80ies. In Germany the Falcon was an insider tipp at this time. 10 years ago I managed to buy a natual maple model on eBay. Since than it's my favourit solid body guitar. great playability and long lasting sustain due to the throug body string and neck constuction. If you have the opportunity to aquire one you should check it out. Thanks for the demo video!
I've got an all original Washburn Eagle...i'd put it up against a Strat or Les Paul any day...and I have those too!
Totally agree, best guitar I've heard in my life, beats any Les Paul ever made!
the wing series is a sleeper.they were making guitars BETTER than any fender-gibson at the time and you can find them for $600.00
These guitars are awesome
cool brother from we the north Toronto Canada!
That was Bob Marley’s guitar. It’s now considered a national treasure in Jamaica
Great guitar! I've got the same in natural and only changed the Pickups to Haeussel 1959 PAFs. Great clean sound!!!
jörn mauersberger Yep if I had Kept this guitar I would have changed the pickups too. But it defiantly has a great clean sound. The stiff woods give it snappy attack so would make a great country guitar with the right pickups and amp.
thanks brother I just got one so wanted to know what the world thinks of it. I find it very well built. thanks brother
Not an original case, as the logo typeface has changed. This case is a more modern Washburn issue..and I have ALL the Washburn Wing Series including the Scavenger and Vulture Basses, Pickups on my '81 Falcon are Seymour Duncan Classic PAF (Neck) and Pearly Gates (Bridge)
Bruce, I'm calling you from Maui,so glad I found you. I love your video, of course your playing is Top-notch! I'm wondering though if you might be able to make a video featuring the Washburn Flying Eagle? I can't seem to find any information or pictures of this WONDERFUL INSTRUMENT!!! Anyways looking forward to a response, I know you get a lot of guys like me bugging you with trivial things, so if I don't hear from you I understand. Just for the record, one of my guitars is a 81 Washburn Flying Eagle.....Thanks again.
I found one for 350. It looks like its in fairly good condition
Bruce I'm so glad I found your video, it answers a question for me: looks like the strap button was originally on the underside of the upper horn. I have a 1979 Washburn, identical to yours except a lighter colored tobacco burst...previous owner moved the strap button to the edge of the horn which definitely makes mores sense to me...I didn't know what the hole in the underside was for. Mine also has a hole in the back below the heel of the neck, I had assumed THAT was were the strap button was originally placed.
I didn't know it was called a Falcon...I saw another video where it was called a Hawk Wing.
Check out the video for my guitar when you get a chance! th-cam.com/video/DealRn3GN2Y/w-d-xo.html
Cool guitar ! - How's the balance ? Is it neck-heavy with resulting neckdive when playing standing with a strap ?
larshcdk Not perfectly balanced but very close. I have had some SGs with bad dive and hated them for it. This is no prob at all. I have a 2014 SG special and thats ok as well so maybe gibson have fixed it.
@@bruceharding6644 I agree. I have SGs that are horrible
